Melrosia was never created to follow trends or fast cycles. It was built around handcrafted jewellery, artisan craftsmanship, and a belief in slow-made jewellery that values intention over excess.
As a women-led jewellery brand, Melrosia works closely with artisans who specialise in traditional jewellery techniques, producing artisan-made jewellery in small batches. Every piece is handmade jewellery, shaped through time, skill, and patience, it is never rushed, never mass-produced.
Understanding how jewellery is made changes how it’s worn. Below, we share the jewellery making techniques that we used so far and why they matter.
Filigree Jewellery: Intricate, Handcrafted Detail
Filigree is time-intensive handcrafted jewellery techniques. Fine metal wires are shaped, twisted, and soldered together by hand to create intricate patterns.
This is a form of artisan jewellery that cannot be replicated through machines without losing depth and character. Each piece carries subtle variations, a hallmark of artisan-led designs.
At Melrosia, filigree jewellery reflects our commitment to intentional jewellery and statement jewellery that feels personal rather than performative. We have an entire collection on this method - Baroque Collection - it also feature black enamelling and emboss.
Enamel Jewellery: Colour With Permanence
Enamel involves fusing powdered glass onto metal at high temperatures. This traditional jewellery technique requires multiple firings to achieve depth, richness, and durability.
Unlike surface coatings, enamel becomes part of the jewellery itself, making it ideal for visual storytelling.
At Melrosia, handmade enamel jewellery is used to add emotion and contrast — creating meaningful jewellery that doesn’t fade with trends. Buy Enamel Jewellery.
Embossed Jewellery: Texture and Dimension
Embossed jewellery is created by shaping raised patterns into metal through pressure applied by hand. This jewellery embossing technique results in texture that responds differently to light and movement.
Because embossing is done manually, each piece carries its own rhythm and variation — a key marker of artisan craftsmanship.
One of our bestselling collections - Golden Hour, which is inspired by The Golden Temple - is done by emboss method, it is lightweight, 18k carat gold platted. Offers rich contemporary style! Shop our emboss collection.
Hand Embroidery: Beyond Metal
Hand embroidery jewellery is where textile craftsmanship meets adornment. This technique involves stitching threads, beads, or embellishments by hand onto fabric or base materials, often requiring hours of focused, skilled work.
Unlike machine embroidery, hand embroidery techniques rely entirely on the artisan’s precision, rhythm, and experience. Each stitch is intentional, creating texture and depth that cannot be replicated at scale.
It allows us to introduce softness, movement, and narrative into statement pieces — transforming jewellery into something tactile and expressive.
Hand embroidery brings a sense of heritage and human touch to handcrafted jewellery. It reinforces individuality, making every piece feel personal, considered, and deeply crafted.
Why Jewellery Making Techniques Matter
When comparing handcrafted jewellery vs mass-produced jewellery, the difference lies in technique, time, and intention.
Handcrafted jewellery techniques:
-
takes years to master
-
limits overproduction
-
results in small-batch jewellery
-
creates non–mass-produced jewellery
-
produces pieces that age with character
This is why slow production and artisan-made processes matter, they create jewellery that lasts.
